Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for determining, by a computing device, that an object of a plurality of objects is an orphan. It may be determined that the object is older than a threshold age. A capacity occupied by the object may be reclaimed based upon, at least in part, determining that the object is an orphan and determining that the object is older than the threshold age.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining that an object of a plurality of objects is an orphan;
- determining that the object is older than a threshold age;
- and
- reclaiming a capacity occupied by the object based upon, at least in part, determining that the object is an orphan and determining that the object is older than the threshold age.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed across one or more processors, cause at least a portion of the one or more processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining that an object of a plurality of objects is an orphan;
- determining that the object is older than a threshold age;
- and
- reclaiming a capacity occupied by the object based upon, at least in part, determining that the object is an orphan and determining that the object is older than the threshold age.
A computing system including one or more processors and one or more memories configured to perform operations comprising:
- determining that an object of a plurality of objects is an orphan;
- determining that the object is older than a threshold age;
- and
- reclaiming a capacity occupied by the object based upon, at least in part, determining that the object is an orphan and determining that the object is older than the threshold age.
